Class SwitchUser

java.lang.Object

tools.gsf.facade.runtag.user.SwitchUser

public final class SwitchUser
extends Object

This class provides the user.su body tag functionality. Unfortunately, RunTag does not support body tags with actions in both the starttag and endtag, and this functionality requires this. Instead, this class is stateful and contains a switchTo() and switchBack() method.

Note that this class is NOT THREAD SAFE.
